CAUTION
HDMI is a very complex technology requiring continuous authentication of the signal and the same
video resolution and audio settings on all electronic equipment in the system. When there are multiple
sources and displays, the video resolution and audio setting on all connected units must be adjusted
to correspond with that of the display having the lowest video and audio capability.

INTRODUCTION
The Evolution by Vanco EVEXKVM2 HDBaseT 2.0 Extender over Single Cat5e/6 with KVM, bi-directional IR, auto EDID/EQ,
and PoC extends 4K/UHD and high denition video and audio with HDR, USB and IR signals, and power up to 230ft/70m
over a single Cat5e/6 cable. USB 2.0 KVM allows for controlling a security NVR/DVR, computer, NAS system, or any other
component that is controlled by USB with this extender. No need to run a separate line or extender just for KVM control!
Also features Power over Cable (PoC) Technology, which transmits power over Cat5e/6, allowing either the Transmitter
or Receiver to be powered without the use of a power supply, you pick and choose which side to power. No EDID or EQ
adjustments are necessary as the units automatically adjust for compatibility and gain. This product fully supports DTS-HD
and Dolby TrueHD audio formats and is HDCP compliant. For extending HDMI over a single Cat5e/6 with KVM and PoC, the
EVEXKVM2 is a great plug and play solution for any device that needs to be extended and controlled with a keyboard and
mouse!
The EVEXKVM2 includes two units: transmitting unit (EVEXKVM2-TX) and receiving unit (EVEXKVM2-RX). The transmitting
unit is used to capture the HDMI input with KVM signals and carries the signals over a single Cat5e/6 cable. The receiving
unit is responsible for equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal and reconstructing KVM signals.

CONNECTION DIAGRAM
CONNECT AND OPERATE
1. Connect a source such as a Blu-Ray Player, game console, A/V Receiver, Cable or Satellite Receiver, etc.
to the HDMI input on the Transmitting unit.
2. Connect a display such as an HDTV or HD Projector to the HDMI output on the Receiving unit.
3. Connect a single Category 5e/6/7 up to 164ft/50m to the UTP output of the Transmitting unit, and the
other end to the UTP input of the Receiving unit. A home-run category cable is strongly recommended,
any coupling point results in signal loss that could affect the video signal. Patch panels are not
recommended as they can slightly change the frequency of the signal.
4. For power, plug in either the Transmitting unit or Receiving unit with the included power supply, opposite
unit will not have to be plugged in as it features Power over Ethernet (PoE).
5. Power on each device in the same sequence (receiver and transmitter will already be powered when
either unit is plugged in.)
At this point the display connected should display the source signal connected to the extender set. If no signal
is being displayed, connect a shorter Cat5e/6 cable (jumper or patch cable). If a display is having difculty
receiving a signal, access the display’s menu and adjust the resolution (lowest to highest until signal is
displayed). A 24 Hz vertical refresh rate may work better than 60 Hz or higher.

IR
IR PASS-THROUGH
The bi-directional IR system allows you to control the source that is connected to the extender unit, from the
display; or the display from the source, not simultaneously. There are two important things to note when
setting up the IR system:
1. The IR Receiver (IR RX) is always what you point your remote at to send an IR signal. This pigtail is placed
at the display for controlling the source; or at the source for controlling the display.
2. The IR Emitter (IR TX) is what sends the IR signal to what you are intending to control, whether it’s the
source or the display. This pigtail is placed at the source; either pointed at the source, or placed on the
front panel of the source, see below for placement tips. Or placed at the display to control the display
from the source.
IR RECEIVER IR EMITTER
IR Emitter (TX)
To control the source: Plug IR Emitter into IR TX port of transmitter unit (EVEXKVM2-TX); place emitter in
front of the IR eye of the source.
To control the display: Plug IR Emitter into IR TX port of receiver unit (EVEXKVM2-RX); place emitter in front
of the IR eye of the display.
Note: Placement of the IR Emitter is important and can result in the IR system not working if improperly
placed.
• First, locate the IR eye or window on the source
• If placing the IR Emitter right on the front panel of the source, do not stick right on top of the IR eye or
IR window. The IR signal cannot travel through the double-sided tape on the emitter. Instead place the
emitter on either side, or on the top or bottom of the IR eye or window, with the tip of the emitter facing
the IR eye or window. See below for illustration of where IR signal shoots from on IR Emitter:

IR RECEIVER (RX)
• To control the source: Plug IR Receiver into IR RX port of receiver unit (EVEXKVM2-RX); place receiver at
or near display.
• To control the display: Plug IR Receiver into IR RX port of transmitter unit (EVEXKVM2-TX); place
receiver in position where it is able to receive remote signals.
To Control the Source:
1. Plug the IR Emitter into the
IR OUT Port on the Transmitter
2. Plug the IR Receiver into the
IR IN Port on the Receiver
To Control the Display:
1. Plug the IR Receiver into the
IR IN Port on the Transmitter
2. Plug the IR Emitter into the
IR OUT Port on the Receiver

EDID
Extended Display Identication Data (EDID) is a data structure provided by a digital display to describe its
capabilities to a video source (e.g. graphics card or set-top box). In a nutshell, the display provides its EDID
info to the source to send the proper signal format, this is essential for a proper handshake to occur.
The EVEXKVM2 is equipped with EDID management, however there is no need to adjust any dip switches or
dials, the unit automatically reads the EDID from the display and saves it internally. This feature was created
for the installer in mind, for a plug and play installation!
KVM PASS-THROUGH
The KVM extension system allows you to control the source that is connected to the extender unit, from the
display location using USB 2.0 ports.
The (2) USB 2.0 ports on the Receiving unit (RX) can be connected to any USB 2.0 capable device, such as
keyboards or mice to control the source. A wireless keyboard/mouse system can be used here, as long as the
system is capable of USB 2.0, and is within the normal wireless operation of the third party wireless product.
